Covers the use of gas chromatographic techniques in chemical analysis. The course starts with a brief review of separation theory applied to gas chromatographic separations. Subsequent sections of the course cover topics related to more advanced aspects of gas chromatography. Topics include maintenance of gas chromatographs, logical troubleshooting steps in gas chromatography, optimizing gas chromatographic separations, headspace analysis and fast GC. Laboratory exercises provide practical training of the principles covered in the lectures. Prerequisite: CHEM 5000 or CHEM 4417 or CHEM 6609 or an equivalent introductory analytical chemistry course.
